Title: Microsoft calls on flash mob for new ad
Post by: javajolt on January 25, 2011, 04:28:08 PM

The latest Windows commercial from Microsoft (below) focuses on the creation of a flash mob in Seattle using the company's social networking tools and mostly portable devices using them. The ad follows choreographer Bobby Bonsey as he kicks off an umbrella-toting dance troupe. Featured in the ad are Windows Phone 7, Windows Live, Kinect,  Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 9, as well as the Dell Inspiron Duo tablet/notebook hybrid.

Bonsey is no stranger to such flash mob creations, having done so inside the Seattle Seahawks stadium and uploaded another video version of the performance.
